WiFi radio problem

A problem has developed in the last couple of weeks on my Nexus 7. The WiFi radio seems to be acting up, with a much weaker connection then my Galaxy Nexus sitting right next to it, and sometimes when I do a speed test there is no up speed at all. What could the problem be and, short of flashing the new radio, what can I do?

Have you tried rebooting your Nexus 7 as well as your router? If these approaches don't work, there might be a loose connection. Check out this thread--there's a description on how to pop open the back cover to access the wifi antenna:

Ok, I figured it out. I had dropped it a couple of days ago in the back cover had popped off and when I snapped it back on I left one corner loose and the connectors to the WiFi radio were not solid. So I reseated the back cover and everything seems to be fine now.
